Nasal Surgery to Improve Breathing

A significant number of the population suffer from breathing problems caused by blocked nose. There are many possible causes of this condition. The most common causes are: allergy, a deviated nasal septum and chronic rhino-sinusitis, nasal polyps and turbinectomy.

How Can Blocked Nose Affect Your Life?
Blocked nose can make someone’s life difficult in many ways such as:
- Blocked nose leads to breathing through the mouth majority of the time - this can cause excessive dryness, which can damage the gums, and sometimes cause drooling, especially at night time.
- Mouth breathers tend to be slow, noisy eaters which is off-putting to the people around them.
- Feeling of having a blocked nose itself makes everyday tasks more difficult, affecting the ability to exercise and function normally.
- Sense of smell and taste can also be affected.
- Snoring is more common in those with a blocked nose.
- Sneezing and a runny nose (rhinitis) are also related to nose blockage.
- Also, the sinuses are commonly inflamed when the nose is not functioning properly, causing acute and chronic sinusitis, post-nasal drip, bad taste and smell, plus a chronic dry cough.

Septoplasty is the procedure most commonly performed to help relieve nasal obstruction. BMC Septoplasty is a procedure that is done in the operating room under local anesthesia and the patient can go home the same day after the procedure. Mild discomfort after the surgery is normal, and is well controlled with oral medications. The stuffiness after the surgery is typically results from swelling after the procedure, and typically generally starts to improve after the first week.
